    personally i like a full containment rest like the hostage gives me one more thing to forget about and that is my arrow falling off the rest

    i agree with bleeding buck. plus you dont run into the technical problems with the whicker biscuit like you might have wit the fall away rests.

    i like the biscuit because i dont have to worry about the arrow falling out of the the rest. i think the drop away one would b good because it doesnt interfere with the arrow when shooting as much as the others. im going to stick with the trust biscuit for now though

    Hostage Pro!! The containment of the WB and no fletching contact like the drop aways! The best of both worlds as I see it.

    There are several drop aways that are full containment. QAD's is full containment and if I am not mistaken the limb driver now has the option of full containment. Correct me if I am wrong here guys.

    i have always like my diamond hostage rest. its somewhere around thirty to forty dollars, your arrow will not fall out. and it will not tear up your fletching like a biscuit might do...i have always liked it.

    I like the WB for the full containment and it leaves me very little mechanically to worry about while hunting. It does however leave some nice black streaks on my fletching. You will also lose about 2 fps with the buscuit.

    The Biscuit seams to be very noisy to me when pulling back a bow, plus it will wear on your fletchings. I'd say go the drop away route, they do make them full containment now, and even if you get one without full containment you can buy a piece that goes on your shelf to hold your arrow in one place. That's what I have and I can tip my bow upside down and shake it and the arrow stays in place. Then when I pull my bow back the arrow quietly lifts off the holder. Limb driver, QAD, Trophy Taker all make full containment rests.
